A good golf swing begins with a good setup and one of the main components of a good setup is posture. If we were to look at photos of PGA Tour players, one thing we would notice is that they all have good posture. But how does the average player consistently get into the correct posture. Here are the steps you need to take to get into the correct posture every time.
Stand erect with the inside of your heels approximately shoulder width apart. Your weight should be evenly distributed in the center of your feet.
Hold the club horizontally in front of you at shoulder height.
Keeping your back straight, your rump out and your chin up bend forward from your hip sockets and allow your arms to hang straight down.
Unlock your knees so they slightly flexed.
THIS GIVES US THE CORRECT DISTANCE WE SHOULD BE FROM THE GOLF BALL WITH EACH CLUB.
FACE ON VIEW
Feet are shoulder width apart.
The left arm and the golf club will form a straight line. The ball position will be between the middle of the stance and the left heel. The right shoulder will be lower than the left creating a tilt to the spine.
CORRECT POSTURE GIVES US A SOLID FOUNDATION TO BEGIN OUR GOLF SWING
